This invention relates broadly to' an improved hoist, guiding andretaining device for use in association with firefighting equipment andapparatus.

[? t The specificdetails and their relative arrangement and associationwillbecomemore readily apparent from the following description anddrawings.

Asseen in Figure 1 the inventlon comprlses two primary parts; namely theouter hook device 6, and a complemental retaining device 7. The device 6embodies a pair of spaced parallel side plates 8 of the sideelevational. configuration seen in-Figure 1 havlng depending outer endportionsterminating in 1 the additional function of ahanger toaccomre'tention hooks 9.

Thus, it will be seen by placing the. device 6over the outer sill and selectively engaging the rack teeth with thecross bar 11,,the retainer 7 will be in a position to permit the screw24 to betightened against the inner wall of the building.
